From the Editor

This issue is a bit later than we’d hoped; a little bit of real life got
in the way, and when we got everything laid out for publishing, we came
up two pages short—so that led to a little scramble to find some
articles that would fit. Nevertheless, we managed to put the issue
together—and without any reprints, either.

October saw the return of TravellerCON/USA, and our attendance thereat;
there’s an after-action report in this issue. The con is much better
positioned to grow at the new site than at the old site, and growth is a
desirable thing to the ConCom, so we’d welcome ideas for Making It
Better. What actually happens is going to depend at least partially on
commitments to attend, so start your planning now—the target date is
early/mid-October 2015, with a Kickstarter expected to begin in March.
One thing that was notable by its absence was any
Traveller: The New Era games; if you play or run TNE, please do
come and give TNE a presence.

We’ve received a proposal that started out as an article idea, but which
has proven worthy of a whole series of articles—or an entire Special
Supplement. We’re actively working with the author on that one, but it’s
unlikely to be ready in 2014—or even early 2015. It’s worth
anticipating, though.

Another large submission was sent to us, at our request to the author at
TravellerCON. That will probably be the December issue’s featured
material.

There’s a lot more Traveller artwork out
there than most people realize; we’re trying to get in touch with some
of the artists we’ve found. Hopefully, 2015 will give us the opportunity
to share some of it with you, as you’ve requested.

As usual, we encourage you to create material for
Freelance Traveller, so that we can be what you want us to be.
